A gentlemanly pootler, these days

I don't think this crusty old fart is trying to shatter his dreams, but this crusty old fart remembers how little he had in the way of disposable income at the age of 22, and thinks that getting more miles in on the existing bike would be better than spending money on marginals gains.At 22 you'll improve quickly, something half these crusty old farts have long forgotten under the weight of pies diverting blood from their muscles to their belly. You may not be a pro Jamma but it's good to dream and 22 is too young to stop dreaming, realization has it's own timescales, so in the meantime get the best bike you can and do the most riding you can, time enough to become a cynical old fart like us but not yet.
If he insists on buying the nice flash bike, then go for it. But a coach?
(BTW may Vernon forgive me, but at the risk of looking like a traitor to my birthright, I don't eat pies
